Speech #1090100506

The GAO has estimated that this new provision alone will push an unfunded mandate on employers of close to $12 billion a year. This simply is not a practical solution. This bill is strongly opposed by a broad range of organizations such as U.S. Chamber of Commerce. American Immigration Lawyers Association. American Nursery & Landscape Association. Catholic Charities USA. Associated Builders and Contractors. United Auto Workers. and even the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. This broad coalition of organizations and interest groups understands that this is not a solution to our existing immigration problem and in fact may exacerbate the problem. I urge my colleagues to oppose this bill and to seriously and comprehensively address the important issue of immigration.
